– Sverdrup expansion will ensure many jobs and create major repercussions on the mainland ahead. Today contract award is a visible proof of this, says Minister Tord Lien (FRP) said.
– That another major contract for Sverdrup assigned a Norwegian supplier business is very gratifying. It shows that Norwegian companies have delivery models that are internationally competitive, says Lien.
Cheers Haugesund
The contract should be signed Tuesday by Statoil on behalf of the so-called Johan Sverdrup partnership. Besides Statoil partnership consists of companies Lundin Norway, Petoro, the Norwegian oil company and Maersk Oil. The Partnership has appointed Statoil as operator for all phases of the field.
Aibel is just one of many Norwegian supplier companies to the oil and gas industry who have both completed position shot and warned further cuts as a result of a shrunken workload in recent months . As late as the beginning of January wrote Stavanger Aftenblad Aibel has notified all 1075 position shot.
– We needed now. The contract shows that both the shipyard and supplier industry in this country is still competitive and that this industry has a bright future. Today exults we especially in Haugesund, but all who are happy in Norwegian industry and Norwegian jobs have reason to flag, says Conservative Sveinung Stensland said.
Delivery 2018
Agreement with Aibel is worth 8 billion, and includes engineering, procurement and construction of the tire to the drilling platform. The engineering work will take place in Asker, the topsides will be built at shipyards in Thailand and Haugesund and by Nymo in Grimstad.
Drilling platform is one of the four platforms in the planned field center.
Aibel has around 5,000 employees in Norway and internationally. The company expects to spend nearly 6,000 FTEs at the huge Johan Sverdrup project.
The delivery of drilling platform deck shall be in 2018, and the installation of the field is planned in the same year, informs both Aibel and Statoil.
50,000 FTEs
Johan Sverdrup is one of the largest discoveries on the Norwegian shelf since the mid-1980s. Full development is estimated to cost 170- 220 billion and provide a daily production of 650,000 barrels 550.000- per day.
Statoil estimates that the field over 50 years will provide a total income of over one Norwegian national budget and that first phase will generate well 50,000 years.
– Sverdrup development is the largest industrial project in Norway in modern times. It will create many good jobs and provide substantial revenues for the benefit of the Norwegian people for decades to come, says minister Tord Lien.
disagree distribution
Friday for a half weeks since the plan was for the development and operation of the field, the so-called PDO, presented to the minister. The Norwegian oil company, however, refused to sign the agreement on distribution of shareholdings because the company believes they have gotten too small piece of the action.
The other partners have asked the Ministry to determine the final distribution of the resources on this giant field, but until that happens it is Statoil allocation proposals that underlie the plan. In this distribution, Statoil receives 40.0 percent, Lundin 22.1 per cent, Petoro 17.8 percent, the Norwegian oil company 11.9 percent and Maersk Oil 8.1 percent.
The NPD is reviewing the plan before it sent Parliament for consideration.
